Im not running around in the cock sucking bull shit peanuts... suck my dick. My truck starts for money and it turns off for exhaustion. Been doing it for years, little sympathy for those that cant respect that.

I think part of the reason for the vastly different viewpoints and experiences is due to commercial vs residential. In residential I’ve seen more evap leaks. In commercial I’ve seen more condenser leaks. Not sure why. Doing mostly commercial/industrial work, I fix any leaks that can be fixed. If the equipment is in poor condition, I’ll discuss replacement with the customer. They usually want it repaired if possible. They understand that there is no guarantee that new leaks won’t develop at any time.

For resi work, in the case of the OP, I would’ve recommended unit replacement, but if they wanted it repaired and understood the risks I would’ve done the repair.

Ok, I’m still working on 30+year old 7.5 ton and up to 20 ton carriers that are being replaced with curb adapters and trane RTUs in their place. They have a timeline budget that they do for replacement. I can easily make the carriers last a long time...very simple technology! No complicated fancy control circuit boards, lol I definitely going to miss them!
